Sneaky Tips To Help Win The 2012 Summer Dog Photo Contest

With less than three weeks to go in the BARF World Summer Photo contest, there’s still some time left to rack up those votes and win an awesome prize from our sponsor, Etta Says! Remember, the photo with the most votes wins!

Next, to help you in the final stretch, here are three sneaky ways to get more votes:

1. Share directly to your wall newsfeed. Visit the BARF World Summer Dog Photo Contest page and click the “Share” button on your entry. Write a creative status update asking your friends to help you win by voting for your dog, then share to your newsfeed wall. You AND your friends can share your entry, so ask them to do the same as well.

2. Encourage your friends to upload their own dog photo and receive 25 extra votes. First, click the “Share” button from the contest page. Then on the Post To Wall prompt, click the little icon in the lower left hand corner. You can customize who will see your status update or you can leave to just friends or public. When anyone uploads from this referral link, you’ll automatically receive 25 extra votes!

3. Promote on other social network platforms. When you submit your dog photo to the contest, you may remember a pop-up with a link in it as seen in the example screenshot below. This is your unique referral link. If you saved this link, remember you can share it on Twitter, in emails, your own blog, or any other social media platform. Why? Because this link is unique just to YOU, and if a friend uploads a photo after clicking on this link, you will be awarded with 25 extra votes.

Don’t worry if you do not have the link anymore, you can still retrieve your unique referral ID. Just simply go to our contest page, click on your uploaded image and then find the seven digit number (as highlighted in the second image below) in your browser’s address bar, and then place it at the end of this URL:
